Removing the Num superclass of Bits was also mentioned, but that would need its own proposal.

Ok, I would like to propose removing the Num superclass of Bits.

This would, for example, enable Vectors to get an instance for Bits: http://trac.haskell.org/vector/ticket/59

Discussion period: the usual 2 weeks (29 Oct.)

The deadline for this proposal has passed. I summarized the discussion and provided a patch for base and ghc in: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/5593 Regards, Bas
